reflex high we saw before last weeks collapse2013-10-10 16:06:56 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in order to secure any price lows 2013-10-10 16:07:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we will need to see this MCO, and all the MCO's, take out this comparable area of resistance 2013-10-10 16:08:01 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and with two other reflex highs still above this one2013-10-10 16:08:25 [Message]

16:08:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we see that the 10% Trend has now snapped back to its zero line2013-10-10 16:09:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the 5% fulfilling our expectation on Tuesday of a snapback to or towards its zero line over the last couple of days2013-10-10 16:09:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so far then, our anticipated reflex rally has met the minimal objective of such an occurrence2013-10-10 16:09:59 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and baring any near term follow through that we may see on Friday2013-10-10 16:10:19 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: until we overcome the MCO resistance points mentioned earlier2013-10-10 16:10:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we should continue to play the market with a defensive posture2013-10-10 16:10:59 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: notice also that the NYSE CO breadth MCSUM is making an all attempt to find support in and around the +250 level2013-10-10 16:11:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: given the above hurdles though 2013-10-10 16:11:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's not likely that we're going to hold2013-10-10 16:11:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and that a zero line challenge on the MCSUM is still to be

bounce from "oversold" levels on Tuesday2013-10-10 16:13:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but here we settled below the early October reflex highs2013-10-10 16:13:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so this tells us two things2013-10-10 16:13:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: one is that, like the CO, we will need to move above last weeks blip to take any further downside price action off the table for now2013-10-10 16:13:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but more importantly2013-10-10 16:14:33 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: that today's advance was primarily driven by common stocks and NOT so much by interest rate sensitive issues2013-10-10 16:15:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which, of course, is a pretty big negative to overcome before we're likely to see a new price trend to the upside2013-10-10 16:15:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: looking at the components here2013-10-10 16:15:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we have met the minimal expectation now in our discussion on Tuesday on what would be likely outcome of the last couple of days2013-10-10 16:16:45 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with both the 10% and 5% Trends snapping back toward and snapping back to their respected zero lines 2013-10-10 16:17:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so lots of fun today...but still a long way from being constructive2013-10-10 16:17:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: after a mid

ending diagonal on this price chart2013-10-10 16:18:56 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: today's rally has now satisfied the technical expectation of a snapback to the line of violation of this pattern2013-10-10 16:19:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: looking at the NASDAQ breadth MCO2013-10-10 16:19:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we see that it is nowhere near its zero line after today's 2.3% rally2013-10-10 16:19:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and given the current positions of the NYSE data2013-10-10 16:20:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: one would surmise that we'll maybe only get to challenge last weeks reflex point in the MCO pattern before finally backing and filling today's upside thrust2013-10-10 16:20:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: looking at the components here as well2013-10-10 16:20:52 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and they have also met their expectation of a simple snapback to their zero lines2013-10-10 16:21:33 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so minus any near

breadth charts2013-10-10 16:22:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: that our downside price objectives given earlier this week will still remain valid2013-10-10 16:22:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so let's

sequence would be able to build on2013-10-10 16:24:17 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: pretty much the same cautionary situation with the NDX breadth MCO and its MCSUM2013-10-10 16:24:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: just so you know2013-10-10 16:24:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: reports from Washington have been very active on Tweeter in the last 10 minutes2013-10-10 16:25:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with rumors of a settlement in progress2013-10-10 16:25:29 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: something like this would fit the technical expectation of seeing a probable continuation on Friday of today's advance2013-10-10 16:25:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and then a resumption lower early next week2013-10-10 16:26:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's always good to remember that it's not the fundamentals that directly drive prices in one direction or the other2013-10-10 16:26:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's the technical condition of money either moving in or out of the market that

close on the SPX on Wednesday2013-10-10 16:27:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which gave us the lead off that we would close higher today2013-10-10 16:27:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in fact2013-10-10 16:27:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: today's close basically took away all the gains that the bears had for the month of October2013-10-10 16:28:16 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so...if anyone should ask, yes, it does go both ways 2013-10-10 16:28:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: looking at the SPX breadth MCO chart2013-10-10 16:28:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and we see that we have no less than 3 areas of pattern resistance still above current levels2013-10-10 16:28:56 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: no less2013-10-10 16:29:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the MCO zero line to overcome before the bulls will have anything to really snort about2013-10-10 16:29:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but this shouldn't stop those who love to tweak others while riding the emotional waves that days like today generate2013-10-10 16:30:21 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: zero line snapback on the 5% SPX breadth MCO component complete today2013-10-10 16:30:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat:

16:30:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: think of it this way2013-10-10 16:31:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: if you're in your car2013-10-10 16:31:35 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and you push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor to see how it feels to go from 0 to 60 in 7 seconds2013-10-10 16:32:24 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: even after you feel that adrenaline rush and take your foot off the pedal, you're gong to continue to push forward from the momentum generated by your applying this forward speed2013-10-10 16:32:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it would make good sense to expect this kind of condition when the cash market opens in the morning2013-10-10 16:32:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but at the same time2013-10-10 16:33:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it probably won't hold up throughout the day2013-10-10 16:33:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the OEX breadth MCO DID move above its two levels of pattern resistance today2013-10-10 16:33:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so if we compare the other MCO charts2013-10-10 16:34:20 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we see that we have substantive proof that the majority of money that came in today moved into the cream stocks more than it did the broader market2013-10-10 16:34:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: no guesses here2013-10-10 16:34:29 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we see it in chart form2013-10-10 16:34:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: what we also know is2013-10-10 16:35:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: short covering rallies are notoriously known to push the large caps ahead the rest of the broader market2013-10-10 16:35:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and this kind of configuration will always see some sort of reset just so we can get a better leadership configuration to where prices can actually trend.2013-10-10 16:36:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the large caps following, and not leading, those stocks that are not as attractive to money2013-10-10 16:36:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the other thing here with the OEX breadth MCO is that although we saw better strength here overall2013-10-10 16:37:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we STILL have our blip resistance and the zero line resistance areas to overcome2013-10-10 16:37:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it's constructive2013-10-10 16:37:33 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but certainly not tradable on the long side as yet2013-10-10 16:38:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: pretty much the same situation with the Dow breath MCO2013-10-10 16:38:45 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but look at how much weaker the MCO components are here if we compare this basket of 30 large cap issues to that of the OEX2013-10-10 16:39:01 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so...too far...too fast...and nothing substantive behind it2013-10-10 16:39:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which...being the reasonable people that we are2013-10-10 16:39:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we should expect a lot more back and forth action before we can call the completion of a bottom2013-10-10 16:40:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: a nice robust snapback as well with the MID breadth MCO2013-10-10 16:40:17 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but it too remains below its blip resistance and zero line area2013-10-10 16:40:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so, if anything, we've relieved our highly "oversold" extreme if nothing else2013-10-10 16:40:59 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: same situation with the SML breadth MCO2013-10-10 16:41:09 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and looking at the SML price chart2013-10-10 16:41:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we closed within 4 points of the all time closing highs today2013-10-10 16:41:48 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but where is the underlying foundation to support this?2013-10-10 16:41:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: right...there is none2013-10-10 16:42:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: things like this provide a rather easy and logical place to execute a trade2013-10-10 16:42:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: in this case...that of being short2013-10-10 16:42:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: since the time clock starts ticking as soon as you enter the trade, you want to be able to time your sell as close to the actual point of "deliverance" than to wait around for something to happen2013-10-10 16:43:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so with this kind of negative performance in place on the daily2013-10-10 16:43:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: one only need now to use the lesser time frames to "pick a spot", with an appropriate stop, as part of your trading plan2013-10-10 16:43:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and not surprisingly2013-10-10 16:44:03 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we have the same kind of lack of amplitude in the TM breadth MCO with the components only snapping back to their zero lines2013-10-10 16:44:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and as the other MCO components have also shown2013-10-10 16:44:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we remain in a bearish crossover configuration2013-10-10 16:45:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so...2013-10-10 16:45:28 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we got our reflex rally today2013-10-10 16:45:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and with

days2013-10-10 16:47:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but the downside target on the XLY remains at $57.502013-10-10 16:48:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the XLP breadth MCO is now showing better

Chat: given that the components of the XLP breadth MCO still remain well below their zero line2013-10-10 16:51:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the technical expectation here would be for a failure to move above the MCO zero line on this go round2013-10-10 16:52:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and for this MCO to snapback down to or toward those same pattern spikes in the pattern2013-10-10 16:52:10 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and once we get that reset2013-10-10 16:52:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: both the MCO and it's components should simultaneous make a combined effort to then go back above

from earlier this month2013-10-10 16:55:17 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the angle of ascent though is a bit on the acute side2013-10-10 16:55:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so for simplicity2013-10-10 16:55:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we'll use the zero line itself as a probable target for this near term divergent sequence2013-10-10 16:56:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: notice also how the current pattern in the MCO is also slowing the rate of descent in the XLE breadth MCSUM right at the natural support level of -250 2013-10-10 16:56:56 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so there remains a great deal of order in what is going on right now2013-10-10 16:57:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: sort of like being on rough seas where things are choppy above the water line2013-10-10 16:57:26

[Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we know that one side is about to take control near term2013-10-10 16:59:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: another observation here is when we look at the yearly chart of the

17:02:43 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so we'll see if we get any more defensive flows into this sector or not2013-10-10 17:03:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the XLI remains fairly weak here as it settled today with a -45 reading2013-10-10 17:03:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: however, it did break above its accelerated declining tops line 2013-10-10 17:03:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so the pressure is somewhat off 2013-10-10 17:04:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and given that it's supporting one of the weakest numbers of all the MCO's we've covered so far2013-10-10 17:04:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we should expect to see continued upside follow thorough on this sector on Friday as it plays catch up2013-10-10 17:05:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which probably means that the Dow Industrials and Transports will have a decent day of it2013-10-10 17:05:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the XLB breadth MCO also came to the party today2013-10-10 17:06:36 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but notice how the XLB breadth MCSUM showed an expanded gap to the downside on Wednesday as it broke below the -250 natural support level2013-10-10 17:06:38 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: all in all2013-10-10 17:06:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: nothing has really changed on the precious metals2013-10-10 17:07:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so it's probably going to continue to be a tough pull here with this sector2013-10-10 17:07:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: tops beneath tops continue to control the XLK breadth MCO pattern2013-10-10 17:08:09 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but taking ruler to monitor on the XLK breadth MCSUM2013-10-10 17:08:42 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we see that today's reading on the MCSUM is resting right on the rising bottoms line connecting the June and September lows2013-10-10 17:09:01 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so this would be great spot for the buyers to flex their muscles2013-10-10 17:09:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and in order for this to happen2013-10-10 17:09:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we need to see the XLK breadth MCO to snapback fully to its zero line as early as Friday2013-10-10 17:10:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and doing this would would provide an upside breakout of this same declining series of tops2013-10-10 17:10:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: like we always say2013-10-10 17:10:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it MUST all work together for a pattern to reach a desired goal2013-10-10 17:10:48 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so let's watch the tech sector on Friday...it will likely lead any follow through from today's party2013-10-10 17:11:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and as we mentioned early2013-10-10 17:11:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: another of our defensive sectors, the XLU, actually gave us a buy signal today2013-10-10 17:11:39 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and remembering back to last week2013-10-10 17:11:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we have this large symmetrical pattern working here on the XLU price chart2013-10-10 17:12:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so one could lead off here on the potential of an upside breakout given the current strength in the XLU breadth MCO2013-10-10 17:13:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: no less the technical condition of a bottom above a bottom in the XLU breadth MCSUM right at the -500 level2013-10-10 17:13:17 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but just keep in mind2013-10-10 17:13:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: that since this MCSUM is still negative2013-10-10 17:13:31 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: what is likely to happen here 2013-10-10 17:13:40 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: is for an upside breakout of the triangle2013-10-10 17:13:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and then a snapback to this same breakout line to allow the MCSUM to continue to improve2013-10-10 17:14:06 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and THEN that should be the ultimate buy point2013-10-10 17:14:08 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: plus2013-10-10 17:14:49 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: something like this would also allow the rest of the market to finish up with its goal of providing a better supportive bottom for prices to actually have chance to trend higher2013-10-10 17:14:51 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so...2013-10-10 17:15:05 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: much of the market remains in a corrective condition2013-10-10 17:15:29 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with our near term blueprint of Tuesday suggesting an reflex rally was to be anticipated2013-10-10 17:15:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: we now have a platform for a new map to follow2013-10-10 17:15:57 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: where we should see some additional upside follow through by Monday2013-10-10 17:16:47 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and after that a period of about 7-10 days of back and fill as the process begins to provide a foundation from where prices can not only rally, but sustain this same positive bias2013-10-10 17:17:12 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: CVI's nailed our price turn again2013-10-10 17:17:20 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: an now are back above their zero lines2013-10-10 17:17:37 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: STVO's remain "oversold"2013-10-10 17:17:58 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: which allows the idea of some further follow through to the upside near term to relieve this same condition2013-10-10 17:18:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: VTO's are now in the process of providing our actual tradable bottom as they are now all below their zero lines2013-10-10 17:18:52 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: the NYSE TRIN came in with a .45 reading today2013-10-10 17:19:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: suggesting short covering by and large2013-10-10 17:19:32 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: with the Open 10 no longer "oversold" with a .97 reading2013-10-10 17:20:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but the two 2.00 readings of the last week will push us back below 1.00 by the middle part of next week2013-10-10 17:20:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: NASDAQ TRIN at .522013-10-10 17:20:25 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so not so much short covering there2013-10-10 17:20:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and probably why the NASDAQ and NDX didn't match today's strength that we saw in the NYSE and especially in the large caps in general2013-10-10 17:21:11 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: TM TRIN at .472013-10-10 17:21:22 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: Open 10 there at .982013-10-10 17:21:26 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so...2013-10-10 17:21:41 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: all in all we got our technical bounce2013-10-10 17:22:15 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and this bounce also relieved much of the downside pressure of selling that we've seen over the last couple of weeks2013-10-10 17:22:30 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: from here we're likely to see a firm to up day on Friday2013-10-10 17:22:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and then another swoon should take place sometime next week2013-10-10 17:23:04 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this swoon will likely create our first divergence point2013-10-10 17:23:23 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and if we can actually take out the spike highs in the MCO pattern on Friday or Monday2013-10-10 17:23:50 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: then Tuesday's price lows will provide some good short term support to the price pattern2013-10-10 17:24:00 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but if we don't move above these resistance points2013-10-10 17:24:18 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: then any swoon we'll likely see will include lower price lows 2013-10-10 17:25:01 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: and, of course, this would eventually be part of our creating bullish momentum divergence before then attempting to move to new highs once more2013-10-10 17:25:13 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: all in a perfect technical world, of course 2013-10-10 17:25:17 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: anything else?2013-10-10 17:25:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: oh...for you Elliottician's out there2013-10-10 17:25:46 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this is a perfect example of a "B" wave2013-10-10 17:25:53 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: where the rally is sharp2013-10-10 17:26:02 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: but we don't have the underlying support2013-10-10 17:26:07 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: "it smells"2013-10-10 17:26:33 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: so using this methodology2013-10-10 17:26:54 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: it's pretty much a given that we will, in fact, see lower price lows before this is all over2013-10-10 17:26:55 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: AND2013-10-10 17:27:34 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: this will likely all take place in concert in reaching our downside price objectives given by the MCO's on Tuesday2013-10-10 17:27:44 [Message] fib_1618 -> Chat: fun, fun, fun! 2013-10-10 17:28:03 [Message] tracca ->
